Robbery of IBC Bank Branch in Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY—James E. Finch, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Oklahoma, announced the robbery of the IBC Bank, 14001 North MacArthur, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

At approximately 2:20 this afternoon, a white male entered the bank, pointed a pistol at the bank employees, and demanded money. One of the bank employees removed the teller drawer and placed it on the counter. The robber told the bank employee to put the money in his bag. The employee complied with the demand and the robber told the employees to lie on the floor for five minutes or he would shoot them. He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash. He was last seen driving north on MacArthur in a silver Volkswagon Jetta. The license plate for the vehicle was covered with a piece of paper.

The robber was described as a white male, 20 to 25 years of age, approximately 5’7” to 5’9” in height, and weighing 140 to 160 pounds. He wore a gray-colored long-sleeve sweatshirt, a fake black beard, and an Amish-style floppy hat. The bag used by the robber was black in color with three zippers that had orange colored rope/string attached to their ends. The pistol was a semi-automatic pistol and it was black in color.
